Makes My Monday – Signs of Life

By Goddess in Progress ·   March 16th, 2009

Cheryl hosts Makes My Monday at Twinfatuation.

And don’t forget to enter my Tag Reader giveaway!

There are finally, finally hints of Spring here in Massachusetts.  Nearly all of the snow is gone, save for a few little patches in shady spots of the yard.  The kids played outside both days this weekend, once even without coats.  The forecast says we’re supposed to have high temperatures in the 40s and 50s for the next week or more.  And not a moment too soon, if you ask me.

Me and my kiddos

While playing outside with the kids this weekend, I remembered the entry from Pioneer Woman Photography the other day on her addiction to Bokeh.  Well, with that in mind, I had to document the very first signs of Spring in my yard with my aperture thrown way open.  Behold, the azaleas next to my front door, and the lilac bushes that are my front hedge.  Soon… soon the flowers will come…

Azaleas - March

Lilacs - March

The kids are all set to take care of the lawn this year.  Who needs landscapers when your kids love the garden hose? And why do I suspect they will not like it nearly so much when it’s turned on?

    Off course, we are feeling the first hints of autumn. Yesterday was cloudy and cool. Today, hot and sunny again.

    beware the garden hose! last summer our hose was on more than off. i actually worried about over-watering, because the boys were so obsessed w/ the water. we even had to get a converter for the spigot to accommodate two hoses, one for each dude!

    I think my dog is the most grateful of all in this house. Poor thing has been cooped up all winter when it was too cold to walk the babies! Thank goodness for spring!

    I love the pictures, Liz! The ones of D and R are adorable, of course, but the ones of the flowers and branches are so beautiful. Very impressive!
